The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Aviation Forces may be formed by end of the year and, also, special forces will be formed within the organization—in which Armenia is a member—to combat cyber threats.

CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha told the abovementioned to Belta news agency of Belarus.

“We realized that means are necessary to transport the forces, which are formed within the CSTO and are members in its troops, to their place of operation. That’s why it was deemed appropriate to form the CSTO Collective Aviation Forces,” Bordyuzha said, reported RIA Novosti news agency of Russia.      

The CSTO chief added that the objective of the CSTO Special Operations Forces will be to ensure assistance to the armed unit’s activities within the organization.    

“Such special subdivisions can counter cyber attacks,” Nikolay Bordyuzha noted.
